Message to the Applicants from Dean, Academics

Dear Applicant, I am very happy to note that firstly you are planning to pursue your post graduate education and secondly you are considering IIT Delhi as one of your choices. India is fast emerging as a knowledge economy and in the next decade or so would emerge as a major centre for research and technology development. In this context your decision to pursue post graduate education would definitely have a significant impact on your long term career prospects. IIT Delhi with its Ph.D, MS(R), M.Tech., programmes offers you an extensive choice of specialization. The strength of the Institute is its 450+ highly qualified faculty due to which it is continuously ranked among the top 50 technical institutions globally ( Times Higher Education Supplemen t http:// www.timeshighereducation.co.uk) In the last few years we have been constantly working towards making our rules, regulations and policies governing post graduate education flexible and attractive to potential candidates. I am writing this letter to make you aware of some major policy changes in the last couple of years. 1. At IIT Delhi most academic departments/centres offer M.Tech. and PhD programmes while some of them also offer an MS(R) programme. Major policy changes now permit the student to switch from one programme to another anytime after one semester of joining. For example, a candidate joining an M.Tech. Programme can apply for switch to a PhD programme in the same department (or even in another eligible department) after completing 12 credits with a minimum GPA of 8.0. All his/her credits, if relevant to the new programme, can be transferred and thus make his/her transfer to the new programme as a student with advanced standing. Similar flexibility exists for switching between other programmes. Last year I I T Delhi initiated s p o n s o r e d research activity worth ap p ro x i ma te l y Rs. Rs. 100 crores which is expected to grow further t h i s year. Candidates wanting t o gain project e x p e r i e n c e along with post graduate education can apply and join one of the sponsored projects simultaneously with admission to the post graduate degree. Apart from gaining experience, various schemes provide for much higher assistantship amounts when you participate in the sponsored research projects. One significant policy change that has been adopted is the recruitment for the project can also be carried out by the same department research committee (DRC) that admits students to the post graduate programmes. IIT Delhi is striving towards ensuring each of its Ph.D students and a good number of post graduate students have an opportunity to present a paper a n d attend at least one international conference before they graduate. A number of initiatives taken in the last couple of years have yielded significant results. Visit http://www.iitd.ac.in for other d e t a i l s .

1. INTRODUCTION
Indian Institute of Technology Delhi is one of the seven established Institutes of Technology in India, the others being Kharagpur, Bombay, Madras, Kanpur, Guwahati and Roorkee. Recently, Government has set up nine more Institutes of Technology. These Institutes have been created as centres of excellence for higher training, research and development in science, engineering and technology. Established as a College of Engineering in 1961, the Institute was declared an Institute of National Importance under the Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 1963 and renamed Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. It was then accorded the status of a university with powers to decide its own academic policy, to conduct its own examinations and to award its own degrees. The Institute offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes through its Departments and Centres. The Institute admits about 850 students for the undergraduate (B.Tech) programmes and about 1400 students for the postgraduate (M.Sc./M.Tech./ M.S.(Research)/ M.Des./ M.B.A./Ph.D.) programmes every year. Intellectual alertness, creativity and talent for innovation go into the making of an engineering leader today and continue to be essential for professional competence tomorrow. The candidates selected for admission live in pleasant surroundings of intellectually stimulating campus, use the most modern equipment and laboratory facilities available and go through the specialized courses designed to meet the challenge of the future. The teaching methods rely on direct personal contact between the teachers and the students. Living in such an environment with people having similar goals and aspirations is an exciting experience during ones academic life and is of considerable value in ones professional career. Location: IIT Delhi is situated at Hauz Khas in South Delhi, bounded by the Sri Aurobindo Marg on the East, the Jawaharlal Nehru University complex on the West, the National Council of Educational Research & Training on the South and the outer Ring Road on the North. The Institute campus is about 19 kms away from the Delhi Main Railway Station, 14 kms from the New Delhi Railway Station, 21 kms from the Inter State Bus Terminal, 22 km from Indira Gandhi International Airport and 10 kms from the domestic terminal of Delhi Airport. The nearest Metro Station is Hauz Khas. Campus: IIT Delhi is a residential Institution and provides residential facilities to the students as well as the teaching staff as per availability. The Institute campus area extends to 320 acres with many interesting topographical features, imaginatively laid out with picturesque landscape, numerous buildings and wide roads, the campus presents a spectacle of harmony in architecture and natural beauty. The main academic building houses various teaching, research and Library facilities. Though each Department/Centre is a separate entity, all the Departments/Centres together constitute an integrated complex. Large lecture theatres with modern amenities and equipment for projection have been located adjacent to two or more Departments for common use. The campus also provides such amenities as staff clubs, hospital, shopping centres, banks, ATMs, post office, community centre, stadium and playing fields. The Students Activities Centre provides all facilities for students extracurricular and physical development. The central two-storeyed block with a swimming pool and a gymnasium hall has amenities such as squash courts, hobbies workshop, seminar rooms, music rooms and other multipurpose rooms for reading and indoor games. The amphitheater constructed in modern style is an added amenity at the centre.

2. CREDIT SYSTEM
Education at the Institute is organized around the credit system of study. The prominent features of the credit system are process of continuous evaluation of a students performance, and a flexibility to allow a student to progress at an optimum pace suited to his/her ability or convenience subject to fulfilling minimum requirement for continuation. Each course has a certain number of credits which describe its weightage. A students performance is measured by the number of credits that he/she has completed satisfactorily. A minimum Grade Point Average is required to be maintained for satisfactory progress. The minimum academic requirements for the various degrees including minimum & maximum credits to be registered in a particular semester are indicated in the Prospectus for the year 2013-2014 which will be supplied to the admitted candidates on the date of Orientation. Every course is co-ordinate by a member of the teaching staff of the Department which offers the course in a given semester. This Faculty member is called the Course Coordinator. He/She has full responsibility for conducting the course, co-ordinating the work of the other members of the faculty involved in that course and for holding tests and assignments and awarding grades. For any difficulty a student is expected to approach the Course Co-ordinator for advice and clarification.

3. ADMISSION PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS I. Ph.D. Programmes

The award of the Ph.D. degree is in recognition of high achievements, independent research and application of scientific knowledge to the solution of technical and scientific problems. Creative and productive inquiry is the basic concept underlying the research work. The details of research programmes in various Departments/ Centres are given in Annexure-I. Course work and other academic requirements: In order to overcome any deficiency in the breadth of fundamental training or proper foundation for advanced work, special make up or pre-doctoral courses are given by each Department/ Centre.

These rates have been significantly enhanced by the MHRD recently and are as indicated below: 12

Table 5: Assistantship amounts for Full-time Institute PhD students Period of assistantship First 2 years of registration Next 2 years of registration Assistantship amount With .Tech/B.E./M.Sc. or With M.Tech./M.E./MBBS equivalent qualifications or equivalent qualifications Rs. 16,000/- p.m. Rs.18,000/- p.m. Rs.18,000/- p.m. Rs. 20,000/- p.m. Hours/week assistance to be provided 8 8

Other conditions and benefits: In addition the full-time students enjoy a number of benefits but are also required to satisfy academic performance requirements for continuation of assistantship from semester to semester. The maximum duration for which assistantship can be awarded to a Ph.D. student is 4 years. In the first instance, the assistantship is awarded for one semester. Continuation of the assistantship during the subsequent semesters is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance and satisfactory performance in the discharge of responsibilities assigned under the assistantship scheme. For this purpose an SGPA of 7.00 at the end of a semester in respect of those semesters when the student has been assigned course work will be considered as satisfactory performance. For details of SGPA calculation refer to the Institute Prospectus. All fulltime students participating in a sponsored project/consultancy project (in addition to their assistantship work) can be paid an honorarium of upto Rs. 10,000/- p.m. by the PI/CI of the project. All such work can be undertaken only with the consent of their supervisor(s). The faculty of an Engineering/Science College sponsored by his/her institution for pursuing Ph.D. at IIT Delhi and meeting all the academic requirements of full-time Institute assistantship can be considered by the DRC/CRC for the award of Institute Assistantship. This assistantship would be over and above the emoluments he/she may be getting from his/her parent institution. Apart from Institute assistantship, IIT Delhi has a number of assistantships sponsored by national as well as international institutions and/or industries. All students including faculty of engineering/science colleges meeting the academic qualifications for admission as full-time students with Institute assistantship are also entitled to apply for these. For more information on the availability of such scholarships in your area, please contact your respective department/centre. In exceptional cases with the approval of the Chairman, Senate, Sponsored (Fulltime) c a n d i d a t e s employed in CSIR/DRDO/PSUs may also be offered assistantship provided they have qualified either GATE or any other national level examination like CSIR/UGC NET/ICAR etc. and fulfill the requirement for award of assistantship and their employer has no objection to the same. Institute provides a seed money of Rs. 20,000/- once during the program as partial financial assistance for presenting papers abroad in good academic conferences Institute is in the process of formalizing a number of agreements with leading foreign institutions or agencies for 13

supporting up to 6 months long research visits by PhD students. This would enable interested students with the consent of their supervisor and DRC/CRC to undertake a research visit which would increase his/her exposure while adding value to his/her work. It is expected that all assistantship holders will have good general physique. He/ She will have to produce on the date of Central Registration, a certificate to that effect in the prescribed format. A copy of the format would be given along with the admission offer letter. The admission is subject to his/her being found medically fit. II M.TECH (High Value Assistantship)/MS (R) STUDENTS A scheme for the award of Teaching/Research Assistantship for providing financial assistance to the students exists.
